Thank you for all the reviews !
Again, I'm sorry if the previous chapter seemed rushed, I had no inspiration apart from a passage from Romeo and Juliet and that's it :P And, send me a PM for one shot request!
Enjoy~
The Next Day
Hiccup stirred to the repetitive clatters coming from his window. He groaned and put an over sized t-shirt on and trudged to the window. Wiping the sleep from his eyes, the sleepy teened managed to open the window with his still weak arms. Leaning out on crossed arms, he raised an eyebrow. "You're joking right?" He croaked.
Jack dropped the pebble he was about to throw and grinned, "Nope." The brunet groaned again and went back into his room. Jack stayed where he was standing and shuffled from one foot to another, glancing at the wide window to catch a glimpse of Hiccup again. The boy was perfect, even with his 'flaws' Jack had loved them all the same. He remembered when he first saw Hiccup in Sports... He cringed remembering the time when Hiccup just managed to dodge the ball, when suddenly he got hit from behind and had to go to the school nurse. Jack heard the front door open and he jogged over to open the gate for the now fully dressed Hiccup. "After you~" He grinned, making Hiccup roll his eyes and walk through the gate anyway.
Hiccup looked for the blue sports car and realised it wasn't there. "What? No car?" He teased, poking Jack's side before retreating into his insecure shell again. "Sorry..." He mumbled.
Jack saw the change in his mood and frowned slightly. He didn't like the Silent Hiccup and he just managed to get a quirky smirk from the smaller male and he wanted to see more of it. "Don't be, Hiccup."
He froze at his name, falling a step behind and gripped the strap of his ruck sack tighter. He hardly knew the guy and yet his mond was begging Jack to say his name again. Weird. "Okay... Oh, and how did you get my phone number?"
The white haired boy rubbed the back of his neck with his hand and exhaled slightly. He was anticipating this, he didn't want to not have Hiccup's number. "I may or may not have lied to Luke about a Science project..."
Giccup's green eyes widened. "You asked Toothless for ny number?!" This earned a snicker from Jack and Hiccup raised an eyebrow and exaggerated his eye roll. "How very mature Jack, and it was just a nickname that stuck... A bit like how you call Aster Bunnymund 'bunny',"
Jack simply laughed, "Well yeah! The name is funny-" He paused and cleared his throat, "Did you know Aster and Luke are going out?"
Hiccup nearly choked fron the unexpected spit that was coming down his throat. "WHAT?!" He said over a series of hackung and coughing, with a bit of help from Jack.
"Yeah. I know. But love is not about gender ya know?" He revealed a rainbow bracelet.
Hiccup wanted to choke a second time, but then that would've been rude. "What? You're a supporter?"
"Yes, I'm gay."
"Oh." Okay, nice conversation on a Friday morning. They arrived at school and Jack's face clouded over, covering tge rainbow bracelet with his blue hoodie. "Okay, bye see ya!" Hiccup called, before running off and going into one of his comfort zones: the library.
He pushed opened the double door and took a deep breath in. He worked weekly shifts there and he never got sick of the smell of old or new pages of a book. That was another weird thing that people find in Hiccup; he like smelling books. It was one of those smells that make a memory click in your mind. In this case, Hiccup remembered his mother reading him stories about dragons and vikings having a war and then one courageous little Viking decides to befriend a dragon making dragons and vikings become friends and equals. Then there was this other story about a Winter Spirit who brought winter to a viking island and you know, stuff like that. Walking past the book shelfs, he was glad that they were there because he didn't want anyone to aee the pained expression on his face and the evidence of his aching heart.
Lunch
Jack pretty much mentally scolded himself for telling Hiccup too soon. He ran away. That's what they all do. He sighed snd walked over to a table, only to find that Hiccup was resting his head on crossed arms. He obviously didn't hear Jack approach until he sat down across him. "I don't need your sympathy Snotlout." He mumbled, not looking up.
"Hello to you too." Jack said softly. He started to eat when Hiccup looked up. He had been crying. His eyes were red and hic cheeks were puffy. The rainbow bracelet subject can wait. "Hey, what's happened?" He pushed his lunch to his side and rested his chin on his hand, looking concerened at Hiccup.
Hiccup opened his mouth to speak, before closing it again. He can't fully trust Jack with his secrets yet, and all of his screts were personal and the only people he ever told was Astrid and Toothless, but then Astrid was half way across the world, Norway to be exact, and Toothless was busy with activities with school, so he couldn't really confide in anyone. "It's noting." He shrugged, dragging his palms down his face. Then, the bell went.
Exchanging a bye with Jack his rushed to his next locker then to his lesson. All the while, making a promise with himself.
He wouldn't tell Jack until he could fully trust him. And that wouod be hard.
It's very hard to fain Henrik Haddock's trust.
GHEEZ, I totally suck at endings :P
